RE: Middle Age??
Mate ,get what you want to get.If you like the Heritage well thats your ride.Thats utter crap about the age thing.Same applies to the Deluxe.Both are great bikes and you would be very happy with either i'm sure.
I know guys who ride crotch rockets that say all harleys are old man bikes.I have been there done that with the jap/italian sports bike thing and its only what you fancy.
I love my Heritage and wouldn't swap it for anything but thats just me.As long as its a Harley you will be pleased.

RE: Middle Age??
Get whichever you prefer!! Age don't matter! I'd probably have a deluxe myselfif they would have come out with a 200mm rear tire.

So im talking to a few guys earlier about my desires to own a heritage classic. And they tell me, your too young for one of those. Get the fat boy, its suits you better. I asked the meaning behind that, and I was told that most middle age folks go for the heritage and deluxes hence why the softail is harleys biggest selling class. They say the women love the fatboys. Is there any truth to this? Or am I just being yanked around?What does that mean? Im in my early 30s myself. I find the heritage to be a hot looking ride. Are the heritages and deluxes considered old men bikes?? Pls forgive my ignorance. I thought people bought bikes based on there hearts and desires, and not the age demographic. Just curious to know is that the general thought process out there? Am I too young to love the heritage classic??

Hey Scrappy1818,
That was when I was running a Roadhouse pipe. I loved the sound of that pipe. Very deep bassy sound. I have sold this pipe setup to T-Rat. He has a Red Deluxe with a white spring seat set up. Now I have V&H True Duels.

I saw my first Harley in 1958. I was eight years old and I wanted one then. And that was49 years ago. I would have boughtHeritage when Iturned 16 if I could have.
You can spend $17,200.00 for a fat boy andanother $1,300.00 making it look like a Heriatage or you can spend $18,000.00 for a Heritage, remove the bags, sissy bar&windshield and have abike similarto the Deluxe or fat boy. I really don't care what a chick or anyone else thinks about my bike. I boughtmy Heritage because it's thebike I'vewanted for a long time.
JMHO.
